In recent times many inappropriate videos have been found on YouTube, so as not to give more openness to this type of content, the platform has been forced to remove more than 8 millions of inappropriate videos during the last three months of 2017.
That information was advanced in a transparency report released by YouTube itself, which shows a large number of inappropriate content being sent, however, automated flagging is speeding up the removal process.
With the prospect of bringing more transparency and less spam, Google, which bought YouTube on 2006, has posted an update on the ongoing removal of content that violates its policy. The company released surprising figures, along with a quarterly report on how Community Guidelines are being applied.
According to Google, eight million videos that were removed from the video sharing platform were "mostly spam or people trying to upload adult content", and represent a fraction of 1% of total YouTube views during that period.
As for this year's goals, the brand is committed to bringing the total number of people working on addressing violent content to the total 10.000 on Google. In addition, there are plans to refine reporting systems and add additional data, including comment data, removal speed, and policy removal reasons.
